The best part of Stampin’ Up! Bundles are not just the 10% savings but the fact that you will have purchased both the stamp set and the coordinating dies to make creating a breeze. The Pick a Pumpkin Bundle is one of dozens available with Stampin’ Up!.
Framelits are becoming even more creative lately with the inclusion of dies that emboss as well as cut. There are even dies that emboss without cutting! The Pick a Pumpkin Bundle has several of these dies included and one that die cuts a beautiful filigree pumpkin as well. If you missed the card I shared on this filigree pumpkin you can view it HERE.
I cut a small piece of Pumpkin Pie Stitched Ribbon and layered it over the Burlap Ribbon. Mini Glue Dots are perfect for this and allowed me to tuck the pieces behind the pumpkins.
You may be wondering how I got the stems in one color and the pumpkins in another. After inking the stamp in Pumpkin Pie ink I simply used a Q-Tip to wipe off the stem (well, honestly, I used my finger!) and colored in the stem using the Soft Suede marker. Stamping gets a little messy in the Stamp Studio sometimes.
Blend it!
Create images that look professionally colored with the new Stampin’ Blends. These alcohol-based markers are making their debut on November 1st! The Blends are double sided allowing you to choose the brush or fine-point tip. Each color (except Ivory and Bronze) has a light and dark shade and are available individually or as a combo pack. The separate Color Lifter will allow you to reduce ink coverage to create even deeper shading.
Not sure how alcohol markers work? I’ve got ya’ covered. Be sure you’re subscribed to my blog so you don’t miss any of my upcoming posts and videos!
